Mercado del Río — Restaurant in Guayaquil

The place is a very good option if you want to eat something sweet or salty, drink tea or coffee, ice cream and alcohol. Sangria, beer, cocktails are nice but they change the prices for example: I bought a "Tom Collins" and when I saw the menu I read the cost $5,50 but the bill was for $6 dollars is not a lot but it's better if you show real prices for customers. It's not so good if you want to eat something typical from Ecuador or strong food because it has very bad taste and expensive. You can stay inside with air conditioner or go outside watching the river Guayas that is an amazing view. I broke one cup and they didn't charge me any cost, thanks God...

Really nice place. It has a modern, yet traditional and cozy environment. It's great if you're looking for good typical Ecuadorian cuisine. The selection of restaurants is wide, ranging from the exquisite seafood from the coast, to the tratidional creole food from the Ecuadorian Highlands. Also, it's perfectly located in the center of the city, within Malecón 2000, which only adds up to the experience of getting to know Ecuador's rich culture. If you're Ecuadorian, this place is nice for hanging out with friends and family. If you're a foreigner, take it as a great place to learn about...

Excellent food from all the restaurants, terrible service from the administration. I was eating with my family and kids at 8.30. At around 9 the restaurants close and the administration decided to turn off the lights of our table. When I asked for the lights to be turned on, the manager was rude and belligerent. Even though other tables had lights on he refused to be of any assistance and told us to just finish eating and leave.

I regret I will not be coming back to this place. Good thing most of the restaurants have other locations...
